Romo is our five month old lab/border collie mix. I could no longer stand not having a dog in my life so after many set backs and many searches for the perfect puppy I found him. Romo was born November 7, 2009 and we brought him home on January 25, 2010. Romo's mom, who was pregnant and living under a truck was rescued from downtown Houston along with the father who surprisingly would not leave her side. He was born at a foster home and we were lucky enough to find him online through the animal rescue group pup squad (pupsquad.org). The night we brought this little guy home it was love at first sight. We met up with him at Petsmart and knew he would be coming home with us. That first night we he was dirty and terrified, we gave him a bath and he spent the entire night sitting under the kitchen table whining. Those first couple of days he wouldn't eat or drink and the first week or so he was startled at every little noise and movement, I can't tell you how many emails were exchanged between me, my mom, and Auntie Sandy making sure I was doing everything right because I was so scared for him. And now we can't believe how much he has grown. Sometimes we forget how little he once was but we look back at the little fluff ball we brought home and are amazed at the perfect little guy he has grown into. He is now 34lbs and is the center of attention in this house. He is no longer afraid of anything, has found his fantastic little bark and loves patrolling the house for us and making laps around the house.
Here are a few of our favorite pictures of our little guy, we have way too many to post, we just can't stop taking pictures, he's so cute! Look at how much he has grown over the months!
